13-year-old boy wakes up from coma
ST. FRANCOIS COUNTY, Mo. – Cody Trenkle, a 13-year-old boy rescued in a ravine after days without food or water, has awakened from his coma.
Trenkle's mother, Stephanie Neely, who has not left his side since his recovery, shared the news with FOX 2. According to Neely, Cody is awake and is making slow progress in the right direction.
Cody—who was rescued on July 30 following his disappearance while he was heading to a friend's house on his skateboard—suffered brain bleeding, severe head trauma, pneumonia, a leg injury and other infections from being in the water for a long period.
FOX 2 previously reported that there's no specific time frame for when Cody will be able to leave the hospital, but since then, a GoFundMe page was created to support the 13-year-old's recovery.
The GoFundMe can be found here.
